I can only hope that we don't run out? After all, bacon is simply nothing more than 'meat candy' and the more people that find out about it the harder it will be for me to stockpile my needs.

Bacon Sales are RISING

Any one else notice that bacon seems to be a 'water added' product, now ?
Almost every brand is squishier in the package and sticks to the pan more than it used to.
I love bacon and have even bought a few packages of the precooked stuff for lunch on the run.

Well after going 2 months without any this thread caused me to go root out my stash of REAL bacon in the freezer. No water added or anything added to this stuff. Since we skin the pigs ourselves we can control how much fat is on the bacons and it is great. Dogs crowd me in the kitchen when I make it as they always get the grease over their food for a treat.
from the sounds of a recent thread Big Al hasn't been a consumer of any of that yummie bacon
I,m curious if anyone one has ever had or knows anything about some type of country bacon ? Its been years but a friend of mine got some from an Amish butcher shop in NE KS a few times for me & it was the best I,ve ever had .
I cant remember what the deal was on it , But it was round & not like canadian bacon , it was just like the sliced stuff but better when fried & fit perfectlly on a big cheesburgerin one slice. The friend has passed away in the last 10 years or so & I cant find anyone that remembers where he used to buy it , even doing an internet search .

Yup, I've noticed it.
I also find that there are 2 categories of bacon. The supermarket packaged bacon that arrives in plastic vacuum packs, and the deli/butcher shop slab bacon that is cut at the shop.
When we make food where bacon is an additive, like adding it to baked beans or crumbled over salad, we will use the supermarket vac-pac stuff. But for a good breakfast where you are savoring a few slices of bacon, that is when we use the good thick slice stuff from the local butcher.

Bill ,If the dogs don't finish it ,can you send some this way ??? May be as close as I ever get to it around this joint !!!
Sorry Al, I ate the whole 6 pieces myself! But I did take some pics of it for you as well as some of this years venison at the feeder in front of the pool. Might have to buy a half of a hog before long. We did not get around to butchering any this spring. Got the weight down to 215-217 for the last 5 days so I earned it!

I liked your bacon!.. is that from one of your hogs?
My grandmother used to buy nothing but pork jowl, and that is what made me a life long fanatic for bacon ('tween the vegetarian years of course!) lol
I did not raise those myself but did butcher them. Jaw or jowl bacon is great, but you only get a little and it usually gets fried up while we are cutting them up. This spring it got too warm and everybody was busy so we did not do any hogs. Been thinking about converting one of the mule stalls into a pig run and getting some feeders. The price of hogs has skyrocketed as well as beefers so it would be a good time to have some.
I've been to Burger's Smokehouse (where that bacon/pork jowl comes from in your photo) it is, well, it is like heaven
Yeah, I know, other people take their families to exotic locations, I go to where they make the bacon!
